To the Honorable Senate and House

We, the honorable Board of Coun-

most respectfully and earnestly pro-

portion thereof, to any state or terri

your attention to the report of his
Excellency, E. A. Stevenson, Gov

Among the old friends here is Ben
Wood, w. Ralston and Ike Newton
The latter has sold out and returned
TO his old home in Hannibal, Mo.
Times here are about as usual.
ne mines are regular producers, and
pay 50 per day for labor, but are un-
healthy mines to work in on account
of lead poisoning. New strikes are
occasionally made at greater depths
which require much capital, and the
ore is generally of lower grade.
Western capital has principally
been withdrawn and invested else
where, which leaves the Leadville
mines in eastern hands.
The Midland railroad to Leadville
has been completed, which gives us
three distinct lines of rail, but not
much ditfererce in regard to rates,
and the only benefit gained thereby
is speedy connection.
The mineral from our mines are
delivered by teams to the smelters
here or at the depot which CONVEYS it
to Pueblo or Denver, and treated ac-
cordlng to contract by those giving
the best rates, which gives Denver and
Pueblo the advantage over the Lead
vile smelters in regard to price of
fuel and labor, while Leadvill stands
them off in price of transportation,
which competition gives the mines
and miners good rates on ore.
You may think it almost incredible,
but it is nothing unusual to see one
span of horses delivering FIVE and six
tons of ore at load, but they have
no better teams anywhere. In fact,
they are the best | ever saw.
| see DR.. Rothwell and family have
moved to Denver and as expect to
spend the holidays there, I hope to
meet them and take an old western
friend once more by the hand.
Nothing would afford me more
pleasure than visit to Idaho, the cid |
ground, where | could in
1ulUe in such luXuries as warm baths |
at the springs, square meals at the
Luna House, and pleasant drinks at
the Miners Exchange, and good |
time in general once more with all.
Remember me to Billy Tincher,
Frank Cooper and Chas. Seekins.
Yours truly,

There is no flame of sunset on the hin,
There is no flush Of twilight in the plain;
The day is dead. the wind Is weird and shrill;
Amid the gloom the sheeted shapes of rain
Glide 20 and fro with stealthy feet and still,
And wilder than the woods autumnal moan
A voice walls through the night, 'Alone,
alone"
No bird dips down a moment in its flight
To all the silence full OF sudden song;
The immemOrial music of the night,
When stars are few and twilight fingers
long.
Is hushed; with lone, sharp sound Of wintry
blight
The cricket quavers near the sheltered
And harkl the haunting cry, "Alone, alonel'
Wan mists on level marsh and meadow rise,
Like spectral lakes along whose cloudy
CLEANS
Dark boats are driven, unseen OF mortal eyes,
Toward some dim coast, some inland-yale Of
dreams,
While on this desolate shore some watcher
cries
To friends afar in the remote unknown,
Lamenting through the gloom, Alone, alonel'
Tho boughs are shaken I'm the bitter sky
With hollow sound of trouble and amaze;
And faster In the dusk the dead leaves fly.
Like pallid ghosts pursued through lonely
Darkly watch them as they shudder by,
While yet again in mournful monotone
The voice repeats my thought, "Alone, alonel'
Night deepens on the haggard close Of day
With wilder clamor of the wind and rain;
Louder the beaten branches groan and sway;
And htfully the voice comes once again,
Across the fields, more faint and far away
Is IL the dark birds wailing backward blown
Or my own heart that cries, "Alone, alone"

Hugh told her how he wrote several
letters, but receiving no answer, he
believed her false. He worked hard
and prospered. At length a longing
came over him to see his native city
once more.
He was an orphan, and had no near
connection living. He made enquiries
for Mr.. Myers, but no one knew of his
whereabouts. About FIVE years before
he came to the city, and settled, never
expecting to see her again.
"But now, Elsie, l find you once
more, and do not mean to let you go,
if will Of mine can keep you The
love that was kindled in my heart for
you twenty years ago burns just as
bright to-day. Will you come, and let
the remaining years of our life be spent
together"
That Mrs. Merle's answer was salts
factory is proved by the fact that the
brown stone fronted house of Hugh
Denvers soon had a mistress, and as
Nellie said:
Mother, we did plunge all at once
into the good old times, didn't we?"
